Career
Remo Palmier entered the New York City jazz world in the 1940s and soon found himself playing with some the best known names in jazz, such as Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie, and Charlie Parker. His talents were in great demand and during this same period he recorded with Teddy Wilson. In 1945 he recorded with Gillespie and Parker and Red Norvo and was awarded a "new star" award from Esquire magazine. Over the years he also played with Pearl Bailey, Billie Holiday, and Sarah Vaughan, and was part of Nat Jaffe's trio.
In 1945, he began performing with Arthur Godfrey on CBS Radio and taught Godfrey to play the ukulele. He was with the Godrey show for twenty-seven years. He changed his name legally in 1952 to Palmier, omitting the "i" at the end, to avoid being confused with Eddie Palmieri.
When the Godfrey show was canceled in 1972, Palmier returned to playing clubs in New York. In 1977 his friend Herb Ellis convinced Carl Jefferson to invite Palmier to the Concord Jazz Festival in Concord, California. At the festival Palmier and Ellis played as a duo. Later that year they recorded Windflower, which ended Palmier's thirty-year hiatus from recording. In 1979 Concord Jazz produced Remo Palmier, the first only album on which he was billed as the leader.
During the 1970s he played with Benny Goodman and Dick Hyman. He participated in an all-star Swing Reunion in 1985 and in tribute concerts to Barney Kessel (1997), Herb Ellis (1998), and Tal Farlow (1996). He taught privately and his students included cartoonist Gary Larson.
He died in 2002 from leukemia and lymphoma.
